I do feel compelled regarding your observation that Tremont is just a stones throw away from the hypercrime occurring @ Clark/25th; let's not forget there is a substantial boundary between Tremont and the crime-ridden Clark-Fulton neighborhood and that would be known as I71/I 90 highway...and I am in no way intending disrespect to the people on Scranton as I know there are many good people there as well, but w25th is a zombie zone

I feel sorry for all the diemakers from Teledyne Efficient Industries who were hired at Twinsburg in 1998. You had it so good for twelve years and now this. Diemaker is a dying trade ever since the Chinese build almost all new dies for US stampers. A large number of local stampers have closed operations completely very recently. And from those of use who still have a diemaker job presently, I wish to welcome you to the ranks of the working poor.

Vote for the opponent of all incumbent Cuyahoga judges at the next election. I guarantee no judges live in areas plagued by these crooks, theives, murderers when they send these idiots back to our neighborhoods with a laughable probation sentence. ITS AN OUTRAGE!

I predict that, based on the outcome of other similar cases in Cuyahoga County, that at least two of them, and quite possibly all of them receive probation from the judge who they stand before. Then. the scenario is that we read about these folks here again with new charges for new crimes in about a year or less. And then they will receive additional probation to existing probation. maybe the Plain Dealer would like to do some investigative reporting on this mess of a system. ...put some people on the hot seat...to compile a list of the compost at the justice center.

Nobody got hurt, therefore they get probation, and if any of them were already on probation, then they receive additional probation tacked on. You know it, I know it, and most importantly, they know it. Thug on brothers and love the throat tattoo

I guess you could say the hood deteriorated around them( old folks) because a lower class of people took over. A disrespectful bunch with bad manners and lacking morals. Please don't simplify the issue by blaming 100 plus year old houses as the cause.

Many homes in Slavic Village a board ups because of the recent foreclosure disaster when the deadbeat owners stopped making house payments after the first three payments for whatever reason (and that's not the issue here). When you start tearing down neighborhoods to build new prefab junk, the neighborhood loses a piece of its identity. These houses didn't get to be 120 years old by utilizing modern cheap construction methods and materials. The biggest problem is the Cleveland schools. You fix that mess and good people (with children) might return. We don't need HUD homes popping up like mushrooms.

Yes I think the law reads that if you manage to put a bullet in them while they have a gun pointed at you, its legal, but once they turn and run and you shoot, its technically a criminal offense, or if you ( a citizen, not cop) yell freeze after pulling your gun after they retreat, thats also considered criminal. Correct me if I'm wrong.

For US suppliers operating in the states to compete with US suppliers operating in China, they need to pay peanuts to US workers. I personally earn 60% of what I made in 1995 due to this but I keep smiling because I still have a scarce manufacturing job. I work in tool and die. I personally know of one Cleveland supplier to the automotive industry that learned to run a modern operation in China with completely redundant tooling to what they ran in the states (Cleveland) so they could quietly ramp up the China operation while simultaneously minimizing the need for the ancient neglected Cleveland plant. The customers still get there parts from a US manufacturer and profits stay in the US. This is considered by some to be brilliant manufacturing strategy because " We do what it takes to get the best prices for our customers". People keep saying China this China that...don't shop Walmart, etc, its all Chinese. What people need to remember, its mostly American companies farming the work out to Chinese suppliers, they do this quietly...and they would rather you not notice.

What are you talking about unions here for? What was the union membership at its height? Maybe 1.5 million workers in the US out of how many millions in non union plants. I make my point refering to myself making 55K annually in a non union skilled trades job to now making 30K in the same type of non union job. This is in my view a bleak outlook for US manufacturing. Non union factories are sending work to China at a record rate. Many people don't care, and I'm comfortable with that. The dominos are falling fast and when they stop falling it'll make your head spin. The unions have already been blown apart...thats yesterdays news. And when you start up with the anti union rants, you begin to sound like a mouthpiece for FOX news. Have a nice day
